Duke extends application deadline due to hurricane

Duke University has extended its application deadline for students affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The application deadline was moved to Nov. 9 to give affected students a chance to apply if their lives were disrupted by the hurricane.

Similarly, N.C. State University is working with students on a case-by-case basis for students who missed the Nov. 1 deadline. “We’re currently working with 59 applicants who have been affected by the storm, and we expect there will be others,” according to Mick Kulikowski, a university spokesman.

At UNC-Chapel Hill, the first deadline was Oct. 15, so that didn’t change, and the final deadline is not until Jan. 7. However, if students planned to take a standardized test like the SAT or ACT and had their application time line thrown off because of Sandy, UNC-CH will grant extensions as needed to send in scores.

Campbell University’s undergraduate office of admissions operates on a “rolling admissions model,” and does not impose early admissions application dates or early acceptance dates, says John Roberson, Campbell vice president for Enrollment Management.
